Our Favorite Research Suite Features: Embedding a YouTube Video

Have you ever had one of those moments where you think to yourself, “How did I not know this before?” In one of our recent webinars, we uncover some of our favorite features of Research Suite to help you make a bigger impact in your research.

Today we’re highlighting one of our favorite tips from the webinar — embedding a video into your survey. This feature is helpful for many cases, including embedding demos of your product, ad campaigns and psychological studies that incorporate videos. You don’t need a QuickTime extension or a plugin; Research Suite allows you to pull a video from YouTube and set it to play automatically in just a few easy steps:

Step 1:
